Re-naming?
Jun 23^rd, 2020 at 10:54pm

I’ve been thinking, there are some that like dogs better than cats, and vice versa, as this sub forum is named Cats and Critters, it would attract more posters if we had dogs included in the title.

Can a change be made? 🤗
A suggestion is ....
Cats, Critters and Dogs.
Paws and Claws.

Just thought it would be nice to include dogs 👍

To coincide with whomever the new mod is.

Cats and Critters is fine. “Critters” covers a very wide range! Flatworms, nematodes, earthworms, insects, crustacea, Mollusca, Chordata (sea squirts) fish, amphibians, reptiles, Aves and mammals.

May not have a snail as pet but might be a prize exhibit in an aquarium.

The original Mod liked Cats I suppose (if that was Herbert, cats is what he liked) and Cats and Critters is inclusive enough for me.

Moggies and Doggies is less inclusive than Cats and Critters!

Nah, the name is fine. With me as Mod the emphasis may be a little bit more towards canines rather than felines but will not be exclusive—be interested to find more info re chooks, like a larger backyard flock like 6 hens.

Should I bite the bullet and buy some meatbirds? Idea does not appeal—plucking etc—but I do eat poultry so. . .

Personally I think it should be left as it is. It didn't even need a Mod. It was a nice little forum that chugged along with nice posts and cute stories and it is Herbert's legacy.

It could have just been left alone in memory of Herbert.

BUT, as usual, someone rides in demanding changes not only to Cats & Critters but now it's Environment, Food, Tavern, Hunting and Fishing and all it does is create chaos, arguments and division.

Herbert's good name was dragged through the mud with atrocious lies and that's a really horrible thing to do. It's too late now but if it aint broke it doesn't need fixing imo.

Herbert could well have just been remembered here in peace with the forum he created and loved.

Just my opinion!

Having said that. Vote 1 JaSin!

Somebody gave a vote to “Herbert.” Somebody then thought better of it and moved the vote to Jasin. Who cares? I will win the vote. I will widen the appeal of this board. What is wrong with that? Happy to have it called “Herbert’s Cats & Critters.”

Hey, I like that. It really opens up a whole new world more than just Cats & Critters. Cool

All animals matter, not just cats n critters 👍🤗

It’s nice to want to keep a title in memory of someone as BA wrote earlier, it was good for the time, maybe a change could draw more to the forum? Isn’t that what’s required now? Isn’t what’s best for FD that’s required? It’s a year of change, establishments are being disestablished, the changes made due to covid is now the “new normal”.

So it kind of came to mind to include dogs in the title somehow.
I’m sure Herbert would not have minded dogs included.
After all, us dog people love and nurture our dogs, that become a family member, that ward off strangers lurking about with their warning barks.
And when they depart to cross the rainbow bridge, we grieve and miss them terrible.
So including dogs 🐕 does not seem unreasonable for our forum with new members coming into the fold.

Herbert had weird ideas about dogs: that they would revert to wild dog in an instant and bite their owners. Pinkeye, forget what name she used when she used to post here, did something unwise once in feeding her dogs and got bitten. I am missing a sliver of the tip of my left thumb teasing Demi about eating her dinner. Our fault, our dogs were just anxious to eat!

It is actually cats that turn feral much quicker than a dog would.

As to not needing a Mod—nonsense! This whole place is dying. Nothing wrong with having someone try to keep a part of it thriving! Just having this election has revived this board. I would keep that going, Jasin would give up after a couple of weeks as we all know.
